Solution

• We need to find which among the given answer choices is NOT the square of an integer.
• Let’s look at the answer choices:
o Option A : 81
 $$81 = 9^2$$, square of an integer.
 So, we can eliminate Option A.
o Option B : 100
 $$100 = 10^2$$, square of an integer.
 So, we can eliminate Option B.
o Option C : 121
 $$121 = 11^2$$, square of an integer.
 So, we can eliminate Option C.
o Option D = 196
 $$196 = 14^2$$, square of an integer.
 So, we can eliminate Option D.
• Hence, we are left with Option E only which must be the correct answer.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.
